Miquéias 4:12 Meaning and Commentary

Micah 4:12

But they know not the thoughts of the Lord, neither understand
they his counsel
Which are very different from theirs: the thoughts and designs of the enemies of Zion, in the times of the Maccabees, were, to destroy utterly the people of God, and root them out of the earth, and abolish their religion and worship; but the intentions of God were to defeat them, and bring them to ruin: the views of the kings of the earth, being stirred up by unclean spirits to the battle of Almighty God, will be to extirpate the interest and kingdom of Christ; but the end of the Lord, in suffering them to be gathered together, will be utterly and totally to destroy them; and the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand, and the thoughts of his heart, to all generations. Men know their own designs, but they do not know the designs of the Lord; they intend the ruin of others, but God intends to bring about theirs; and his intentions are never frustrated, but theirs are; for he shall gather them as sheaves into the floor;
as, when the harvest is ripe, it is cut down, and bound up in sheaves, and brought home, and these are laid in order upon the floor to be threshed; so, when the nations of the earth are fully ripe for ruin, God will put, or order to be put; in the sickle, and cut them down, and bind them in bundles, and lay them on his threshingfloor of wrath and vengeance, and utterly destroy them contrary to their views and expectations.

Miquéias 4:12 In-Context

10 Contorça-se em agonia, ó povo da cidade de Sião,como a mulher em trabalho de parto,porque agora terá que deixar os seus murospara habitar em campo aberto.Você irá para a Babilônia,e lá será libertada.Lá o SENHOR a resgataráda mão dos seus inimigos.

11 Mas agora muitas naçõesestão reunidas contra você.Elas dizem: “Que Sião seja profanada,e que isso aconteça diante dos nossos olhos!”

12 Mas elas não conhecemos pensamentos do SENHOR;não compreendem o planodaquele que as ajunta como feixes para a eira.

13 “Levante-se e debulhe, ó cidade de Sião,pois eu darei a você chifres de ferroe cascos de bronzepara despedaçar muitas nações”.Você consagrará ao SENHOR,ao Soberano de toda a terra, os ganhos ilícitos e a riqueza delas.
